President Donald Trump accused Twitter of election interference after it added fact-checking labels on his Twitter posts for the first time on Tuesday. The Trump campaign also separately responded to Twitter’s move in a statement, accusing the platform of having a “clear political bias.”

“Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump wrote late Tuesday on Twitter. “They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post.”
